Should I go get a corn snake right now?

Similar requirements, yes. Cooler

 

[arowana man]

so.......did you get one????

 

[Nabbig2]

Yep, I got one. He's really aggressive...bit me quite a few times. I'll post pics later, he needs to get a bit used to me first.

bit you a few times huh? i bet you went with the cal king. i hated those little *&^(*& lol they just dont bite, they like to bite and hang on and try to eat you. haha you should have gone with a gray banded kingsnake!!!

You should find a reptile store that ISN'T Petco...

That would really help... it would give you better animals and better information.

to the smoking comment before..
i don't think that would kill a snake so quickly unles you were smoking whenever you held the snake. I smoke and have 6 snakes and all are healthy, although i know nicotine is toxic to them so I try not to smoke around them and certainly not whilst handling them.

I wouldnt handle this little dude for a few days, let him settle in

shouldn't smoke in the same room as them...

Are you suggesting/jumping to the conclusion I smoke in the same room as my snakes Davo?
Just asking as I'm not sure..

Nope, I got a corn. He's pretty vicious...I know his bite doesn't really hurt, but I get scared and almost jump each time he bites and hisses at me.

I let him settle in the first day...now I'm handling him twice a day. Today I will probably handle him once and then feed him. Then I guess I can't play with him until thursday or so...
